We had decided to spend the night at Joseph's parents due to the fact that time had gotten away from us while catching up and having dinner. None of us would really admit that it was due to the girls falling asleep with their Poppa in his recliner, but I got a cute picture on my phone out of it. Joe and I had called my lawyer last night and let know about my phone call from Kaiser and how he had sounded. She told me she would take care of it first thing this morning. RAW was live in Tampa tonight and there was going to be some meet and greets before the show that involved all three of the boys so we would be at the arena most of the day. Kelly and I had some hair appointments early so we would be tagging along with Renee and Corey of course. Mom and Dad had made plans to hang around with Joe's parents today which I found cute. Joe had taken JoJo to school this morning, much to Swayze's disappointment because she would be without her sister all day. Lord only knows how she would be acting when we began traveling again and JoJo had to stay here in Florida.

"C'mon toots, let's get your shoes on so we can head to hair paint." I smiled toward my daughter.

"Me stay." She replied from her spot on Joe's dad's knee, both their eyes glued to the cartoon movie on TV.

"Swayze, Gramma, Nana, Poppa, and Pop-Pop have plans today. C'mon, you love to hair paint."

"Me stay wit Poppa." She whined.

"She can go with us dear. That way you and Joseph can focus on work." Patricia replied from the kitchen.

"I just don't want to impose." I stood, from my kneeling position.

"Hey, we're her grandparents." Sika replied, before he and Swayze chuckled at something that happened on the movie.

"Exactly. And once your father and I go back home and your back on the road, you wont have a break baby. We don't mind at all." Mom spoke.

"I'm so use to having her with me I feel out of place when she's away." I spoke, smiling toward her.

"It's just for today sweetie." Dad spoke from behind his newspaper.

"Alright baby girl, let's hit it." Joe's voice spoke as he walked back through the front door.

"That was a quick trip." I looked over my shoulder at him. He and Jon had went back to his house to grab their things they would need for tonight.

"Just had to grab our bags." He kissed the side of my head as he walked over, peeking over at Swayze. "C'mon Swayze."

"Me stay." She spoke, not looking away from the TV.

"I thought you liked watching Mama hair paint?" He asked as he walked into the kitchen, hugging and kissing his mom.

"She can stay with us." Patricia smiled as she pulled back. "You know she'll be spoiled by her grandpa's."

"No toys Dad." Joe called.

"Mind your business boy." Sika smiled.

"Got the car seat in." Jon replied as he walked through the front door. "Let's get the show on the road." He walked past me looking toward the TV. "Hell yes Moana."

"Come watch Nucle Jon." Swayze smiled, looking toward him.

"Alright." Jon replied heading toward Sika and Swayze only to be grabbed by the arm by Joe.

"Sorry baby girl. Your Uncle Jon has to get to work."

"Ah man, buzz kill." Jon pouted. "Love ya Mom and Pops." He called out as he patted my side on his way toward the door.

"Love ya kids. Behave!" Dad called out.

"Give Daddy a hug baby." Joe replied, smiling as Swayze jumped up into his arms. "I love you." He spoke, kissing her cheeks then her nose.

"Me love you Daddy." She giggled, hugging his neck.

"You going to watch me on TV tonight with JoJo, Pop-Pop and Poppa?" He smiled up at her.

"Yes. You nestle?" She asked, her word for wrestling making us both giggle.

"You betcha and I'll be wearing the bracelet you and JoJo made me." He held up his wrist to show the pink, purple and turquoise bracelet the girls made him yesterday.

"Otay." She smiled. "Mommy too?"

"Of course." I smiled walking up on the them. I leaned up and pecked Swayze on the lips, rubbing my nose over hers. "You be good okay?"

"Me will." She smiled, kissing me again.

"Daddy and I will be by to pick you up after the show okay?" I stepped back, smiling toward Joe.

"Otay. Yous be good." She pointed her little finger between us, making everyone chuckle.

"Promise." Joe spoke, kissing her cheek again before sitting her back on Sika's knee.

"Love you baby." I smiled, leaning against Joe.

"Me love you Mommy." She smiled, looking back at the tv.

I wrapped my arms around Joe's waist as he lead us out the house and towards the car, Jon was already behind the wheel.

"Are we okay with him driving?" I asked.

"Well, he is a lunatic and you know Tampa traffic." Joe replied as he opened the back door for me.

"Great." I sighed, climbing inside, Joe shutting the door behind me. "Seat belt Jon."

"Right." He spoke, clicking it quickly and Joe climbed into the passenger seat. "We ready to rock?"

"Just keep it between the ditches Ambrose." Joe chuckled, clicking his seat belt.

"Oh jeez I can drive ya know?" Jon grumbled as he placed the car in reverse backing up. "Trust me, nobody's dying today."

If only we all had known that that statement wasn't true, maybe then we all would've appreciated the little things more.

A filler chapter really, but please be ready and prepare yourselves.
